I am currently re-recording the guitar and vocal tracks on this page with Scott Nelson, a great musician with a natural talent for recording and bringing out the best in a song. We are working on a complete CD of original songs, finding my own unique musical direction and sound. Somewhere between traditional country and folk. Hopefully we will have it completed by early summer.

Story behind the song

another song about making bad choices in life, not that I have had any experiences with that!!

Lyrics

woke up, she's 45
it's noon, she's still in bed
didn't get up when the doorbell rang
she'd been cryin' and her eyes were red
he called last night to apoligise
he was gonna change the plans
the kids were sick, he couldn't get away
he knew that she would understand
chorus
that's the way it's been,
that's the way it'll always be
when a woman gives her heart to a married man
she gets pieces of the life he leads
that't the way it's been
how it's always gonna be
she'll get diamonds and pearls never what she needs
only pieces of the life he leads
ver2
tommorrow night she knows he'll stop by 
with some trinket in his hand
tell her he loves he, gonna make it right
now he's doing the best he can
and she closes her eyes, opens her heart,
later on she pretends to sleep
hide her tears until he's gone
she never cries until he leaves
chorus
bridge
tonight she'll go to dinner with a few of her friend
it's a last minute thing
when they heard that he phoned, they couldn't leave her alone
alone, with memories
over red wine, she'll laugh and she'll smile
listen and agree
she knows it's time, to leave him behind
but God, how will she breathe....
chorus
